I was going to sugest PCS in Sevn Hills, just off M7... There is also one in Kings Park - just around the corner (Turbo rd or Binney rd). These two places do small to medium jobs. If you want something BIG done (and small). Vertikote in Chipping Norton are really good. If you wait until they're doing a 'run' of a particular colour (eg: black) - They will usually chuck it on the line for a really good price. I used to work there.
Hey mate, any luck yet with that stumpy box? Any ideas on getting hold of one? I've been looking around and Mad Dat is the only ones I've seen. Plz Let me know... Or anyone else for that matter.
Datto dude is right. Your buying someone's word when buying a half cut. Sitting around in Japan, then cut up, sit some more, thrown around into containers, stacked on top of each other - you get the point... Most yards are pretty good because their reputation is important to them. but, some are just after a buck. I bought a CA18det off a guy who was going SR20det and I could test drive it in the car, perform all tests - comp check, blow smoke, oil preassure etc. Look around with a little bit of patience and maybe might be a little cheaper too.
There is a mathematical tool called a Moroso Calculator (could be available online)??? - not sure. But you put in all of the info available to you and it will give you a 'perfect scenario' quater mile time. Engine builders use them in the reverse to work out how much power and tourque they will need from an engine to get a (????)- kg car down the quater in (??) seconds.
Yeh, even been around to Bursons, Repco, Autopro etc. The metal guide / slide plates that hold the pad wear ( and is worn in my case )and the rubber boot for the slide bolt is split ( my fault ) Even thinking about getting another set and using the best bits??? Just would be good to use new parts, as everything else on the ute will be new or reco.
I'm trying to track down a caliper rebuild kit for the S13 Caliper conversion. I thought I should re-build the calipers before putting them in but even Nissan is having trouble tracking them down. I wouldn't have thought it would be too hard??? Correct me if I'm wrong but but S13 180SX non turbo's only came out in 1990 - not too old or too young to be caring these type of spares I would have thought. If anyone has any info, that would be great!
Just a thought... Some kind of list for everybody's quater mile time would be good. Or does this already exist?
I know straight line racing isn't for everyone but I know it IS for some. Even circuit racers or rally fans have given their car a 'run' just to see what it will do.
??? Just going by what I saw on Ebay... There was a picture of a set of 4 simmons (with 4 stud pattern) and the add stated that he was unsure of what else they would fit but they had just come off his Series 3 RX7.
